Victory swoop for Socceroos keeper Coe

Melbourne Victory have signed Socceroos goalkeeper Nathan Coe on a three-year deal.

The 28-year-old Coe, who has made three appearances in goal for Australia, joins Victory from Danish side SonderjyskE.

Coe is favourite to win the number one spot between the posts with both Tando Velaphi and Lawrence Thomas both failing to impress in the early stages of the season.

Victory released veteran keeper Ante Covic at the end of last season, paving the way for his move to Western Sydney Wanderers.

Coe has also been part of squads at Inter Milan, FC Copenhagen and PSV Eindhoven during his career.

Victory coach Ange Postecoglou said that put the shot-stopper in good stead to provide his new side with some valuable experience at the back.

"I coached Nathan in the early stages of his career at various national team levels and he's not only a committed footballer, but he is also a great character to have in the change room," Postecoglou said in a statement.

"Nathan has been part of some massive clubs throughout his career to date and his experience in Europe, as well as with the Socceroos, will be invaluable - both on and off the pitch."
